When snorting should you snort hard into the lungs and throat or just the nose itself?
Most of what you snort goes straight to your lungs.
Most of what you snort goes straight to your lungs. Your nasal cavity can't hold much powder. From a normal sized line, only about 10% of the powder is absorbed intranasally; the rest is absorbed by your lungs or as drip.
Also - pill filler/binder isn't necessarily bad for your lungs, it's the silicates you need to watch out for. Look up the inert ingredients for whatever pill you're snorting. Don't snort anything containing silicates unless you want silicosis. The good, snortable pills are the ones that use harmless cellulose as the bulk filler (sometimes listed as "microcrystalline cellulose"). Sugars such as lactose are also going to be harmless. Magnesium stearate is another common bulk filler, which seems to be rather harmless. Just avoid the silicates.
erm, what? where is this info from?
Not really true, man. If most of the powder was getting into your lungs, you'd know! You would cough!
I've broken down the math several times in other OD threads over the years, you'd have to find one of those. What I can tell you is that the average pure/snortable pharmaceutical pill crushes up into 0.25g of powder, and the sinus cavity holds less that 50mg.
Yes it is, "man." And inhaling pill dust doesn't make you cough when you're a seasoned addict... I remember snorting 8mg Dilaudids all day, which crushed up into approx. 200mg of powder. Even snorting a measly 100mg at a time, I still exhaled what appeared to be smoke afterwards, because most of the powder had gone straight to my lungs.
along with others in the thread, i'd like to read some substantiation of this claim, in particular the 10% figure.Most of what you snort goes straight to your lungs.
